Lama Gyatso Rinpoche offers an explanation on the offering of prostrations. Throughout this teaching, Lama Gyatso speaks about the technique and symbolism of the prostration and, more importantly, the bounty of opportunity this accumulation practice provides us as practitioners within our Ngöndro practice.

Offering Prostrations | Lama Chödak Gyatso Nubpa

Reflecting on the Exodus narrative and the monthly theme of “Interdependence,” Rev. Alan Taylor explores the nature of spiritual community and the relationship between freedom and responsibility.

“We're All In This Together” – Rev. Alan Taylor - April 28, 2024

SEVENFOLD HARMONIC: PATHWARD to UNITY

As the US begins to celebrate the July 4th holiday, we're resharing this classic episode in which Bret Keisling reflects on what the holiday means to him and how employee ownership can address what he sees as our most vexing problem in the US, our inability to work together to benefit us all.

Shoutouts to NCEO co-founder Corey Rosen, the Employee Ownership News, and the "Owner to Owner" podcast with Jesse Tyler.

The full transcript of this episode, which includes links to all of the topics mentioned, is available on our website https://www.theesoppodcast.com/post/esop-summer-school-42-from-independence-to-interdependence

"We're pro-AI and we're pro-consent. Those things don't have to be mutually exclusive." The activists and artists talk about the hot button issues facing AI's governance.

The world is deep in the throes of a heightening debate over AI. Just this week, the Vatican published an essay addressing the potential, and risks, of AI in a new high-tech world as well as its intersection with religion and humanity. In politics, figures like Elon Musk are advising citizens that the US government will become increasingly "AI-first," using data about its individuals to make federal decisions. And in the world of culture and the humanities, the alarm has been sounded on AI's ability to both aid in creativity and homogenise the art and music being produced and consumed, raising concerns that much of what's being released is sounding increasingly the same.

There are probably no better experts on this far-ranging topic than Holly Herndon and Mat Dryhurst, two Berlin-based academics and artists who have entrenched themselves in the world of AI ethics, advocacy and art for the past two decades. Now married, they come from DIY punk backgrounds, both having lived in the Bay Area pre-tech bubble while Herndon completed a Ph.D in Computer Music at Stanford. Their work is primarily concerned with how AI is governed as it becomes more ubiquitous in our everyday lives, and what its implications are for ownership of AI-generated artworks. 

In this urgent and timely RA Exchange, the duo talk about their shift closer to the art world following their 2024 exhibition at The Whitney Biennial and their most recent show at Serpentine Gallery in London, The Call, which will close at the end of this month. It's one of many forward-thinking projects they've worked on to move away from the fear narrative dominating dialogue around how AI is influencing art and music, instead showcasing how machine learning can be used to push art forward. They also address their view of socialist democratic values with the rise of the far right, raising a young child and doing work that sits squarely between activism and art.

In this set, @mermasuelo  – Mexican sound artist, writer and researcher  – shares the sonorous connections that currently form and nurture the network and project named Ecotonalismo Fluido (Fluid Ecotonalism) with some of her own pieces and other electroacoustic musicians.

Ecotonalismo Fluido is a collaborative, transdisciplinary and poetic proposal exploring relation, translanguage and learning from feeling through listening with bodies of water that are considered ecotones and expanded sound. It is a project that has been growing organically, joining resonant bodies, collectives, artists and projects in different parts of the planet.

The tracklist includes pieces from Bint Mbareh, Pes, Qoa, ৺ ෴ ර ∇ ❃ ﹌﹌, Mauricio Silva Orendain, Carlos Maldonado, Jorge Zurita Díaz and Colectivo Humedal, Bitácora de Aguas in collaboration with the Trans-Andean Diaguita Network, AOIR Sound Lab, María Torres & Concepción Huerta, Proyecto HAMMAM, Valentina Kappes, Mesías Maiguashca and Merma Suelo in relation with different rivers, lakes, wetlands, seas, streams, lands, skies and more...

You can find most of them, as all the info on the pieces here: https://fluidecotonalism.earth/ ig @fluidecotonalism

Merma Suelo listening session at migas 10.04.25

We are all connected. Every being and every thing in existence are Interdependent. This Song is a reminder that we are all one. We look at the same moon. We feel the same wind. We live on the same earth.
Though we have some differences, there is something deeper uniting us. 

Interdependence

Every week in Berlin, we invite artists to share the music they love. These recordings come straight from our space, just as they were played.

All sets at migas are captured from the output of our Isonoe ISO420 mixer into a Tascam FR-AV2 recorder via balanced cables, in WAV 48kHz / 32-bit float.

The mastering chain includes only a touch of analog-style saturation (BB Tubes), applied in parallel to add warmth and cohesion, followed by a transparent limiter (L2) to gently control peaks.

The final file is exported as FLAC 48kHz / 16-bit.

Hello fellow human,

I am deeply passionate about healing, growth and psychology.

My dream is to inspire listeners to fully embrace their emotions and to discover the gift in every part of themselves and others.

Music is a very powerful tool for expansion and I invite you to join me on this meaningful and exciting journey.

Yours truly, 
atira
